Looks ar one thing but surely safety should be more important.

Have you ever been behind somebody who slows down and then makes a turn without indicating ??

Imagine a car driver following you down the road and you want to make a right turn. OK, so your brake lights will show and possibly the indicators too. But as you might have to stop due to oncoming traffic do you really want to run the risk of somebody behind you just thinking you were slowing down, and because you actually stopped they run into the back of you.....

Yes it would be their fault but that's little comfort when you are in hospital and the bike is at the garage.

Just my opinion but if you prefer looks over practicality then go for it. BUT, please don't make a turn whilst in front of me .....

You can mount a bracket on the back of your number plate so that your indys would be level with the bottom of it, which would have them spaced far enough apart to be legal.

Really not worth not having them - Cops will see and pull you for a chat about that, then, they will look at your illegally small number plate and your cans.

So expect to be paying a visit to your local cop shop on a regular basis to produce your documentation, oh and the £30 fixed penalty donations to the Cops Retirement fund.

Also, if you are a pain to be following, expect people to refuse to ride with you, not just because of the lack of signals (I dont want to be having to look at what your hands are doing - and hand signals are VERY missable, not to say the lack of control you will have) but also the attitude you seem to have.
